Text 30] Bali Maharaja Surrenders the Universe 123

TRANSLATION

My dear King, on the heart of Lord Murari he saw religion; on
the chest, both pleasing words and truthfulness; in the mind, the
moon; on the bosom, the goddess of fortune, with a lotus flower in
her hand; on the neck, all the Vedas and all sound vibrations; on
the arms, all the demigods, headed by King Indra; in both ears, all
the directions; on the head, the upper planetary systems; on the
hair, the clouds; in the nostrils, the wind; on the eyes, the sun;
and in the mouth, fire. From His words came all the Vedic mantras,
on His tongue was the demigod of water, Varunadeva, on His
eyebrows were the regulative principles, and on His eyelids were
day and night. [When His eyes were open it was daytime, and when
they were closed it was night.] On His forehead was anger, and on
His lips was greed. O King, in His touch were lusty desires, in His
semen were all the waters, on His back was irreligion, and in His
wonderful activities or steps was the fire of sacrifice. On His
shadow was death, in His smile was the illusory energy, and on the
hairs of His body were all the drugs and herbs. In His veins were
all the rivers, on His nails were all the stones, in His intelligence
were Lord Brahma, the demigods and the great saintly persons,
and throughout His entire body and senses were all living entities,
moving and stationary. Bali Maharaja thus saw everything in the
gigantic body of the Lord.
